69 people attend IT theme evening on “Gamification and Games in Saarland”.

Gamification is the use of typical elements of a game in a context other than that of a computer game. The application of this concept is as colorful as its definition is dry. The same applies to research on this subject. Both take place in the Saarland. This is why the IT theme evening on November 7 introduced top regional thinkers behind it. 69 people accepted the invitation to the Visualization Center of the German Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) on the Saarland Informatics Campus.

Stretchable circuits: New process simplifies production of functional prototypes

Stretchable circuits have the advantage that they also work in textiles such as clothing. However, their production is considered to be very costly. A new, simplified process has now been presented by two computer scientists from Saarland University. It is based on a so-called laser cutter and its precise, fast cuts. These are provided by easy-to-use software developed by Daniel Gröger and Professor Jürgen Steimle for designers. Since the necessary materials are available on the market, almost any person can now produce stretchable electronics for their own purposes.

Saarbrücken computer scientist honored for pioneering work on time-critical software systems

The Airbus A380 is the largest mass production civilian airliner. When the wide-bodied aircraft lands safely, its control software has launched countless components over 500 cable kilometers in time. The foundations for the automatic analysis of such time-critical software systems, such as those found in cars, trains and industrial plants, are provided by computer scientists from the University of Saarland around Professor Reinhard Wilhelm. For their pioneering work, published in 2001, they were [...]
